Can we talk about how balcony gardening feels different now than a decade ago?
Honestly, I used to tend a few pots on my fifth-floor ledge, mostly herbs and stubborn geraniums. Tbh, back then, it was about making do with whatever sunlight peeked between buildings. Ngl, nowadays, my whole setup is hydroponic and lit by LEDs, which is efficient but lacks that raw, messy charm. Sometimes I think we've traded patience for precision in these compact living spaces. Still, growing food up here reminds me why we started.
